Questions
What is the best liquidity pool on Optimism right now?
By net APR after impermanent loss over the last 7 days, among pools with at least $100k of liquidity, the top pool is USDC/WETH 0.05% on Uniswap v3: its ±5% range earned 88.6% (fees 91.7%, impermanent loss 3.2%) as of 2026-10-02T12:00 UTC. The ranking is recomputed every hour; a high recent APR is not a forecast.
Which Optimism DEXes does LPSignal cover?
Velodrome Slipstream, Uniswap v3 and Uniswap v4 concentrated-liquidity pools whose two tokens are both established assets (stablecoins, ETH and BTC wrappers and staking tokens, and tokens of at least $100M market cap). Uniswap v4 pools are covered when they have no hooks and a static fee.
How is this ranking different from the APR on DEX sites?
DEX sites rank pools by fee APR: recent fees divided by all the liquidity in the pool. LPSignal ranks the best price range of each pool by what one unit of liquidity in that range actually earned (from the pool's fee-growth counters) minus its impermanent loss against holding the tokens — the return an LP would have kept.
